Useful tips

Having decided to bake a pie with a filling of frozen berries, each housewife asks a question: is it necessary to defrost the berries? Especially if this moment is not specified in the recipe.

The filling of the unfrozen berries is more juicy, but there is a risk that there will be so much moisture in it that it starts to flow out of the pie.

Time for baking in this case will also need much more, so if the recipe does not indicate that the berries should be put frozen, it is better to defrost them.

You can also create mixes of frozen berries, mixing different types of them or adding fresh fruits to them, for example, apples, pears, bananas, oranges, kiwi, etc.

The amount of sugar in any recipe can be adjusted depending on your preferences: reduce for lovers of sweet and sour pies, increase for lovers of sweets.

You can decorate the finished cake with powdered sugar, cinnamon, cocoa powder or chocolate chips. And if you sift powder through a stencil for baking, you can create whole pictures on the surface of the cake.
